Unbreakable

Diving into icy waters
walking on fire
all the stunts
the world seems to require
The bed of nails
the barefoot trail
all of these
I would certainly fail

I climbed my own steep mountains
I’ve braved the still unknown
I was made of silky threads
while the world demanded stone

I search my mattress
for the pea
I’m not
unbreakable
Why do I have to be?

There is a Japanese art/technique called KINTSUKUROI/KINTSUGI, where broken objects are mended with gold. They say that the fact they have been broken is part of what they are and it makes them even more beautiful, symbolised by the golden lines.

I love this. The wounded healer! Perfect imperfections ♡

– The beautiful – and I like to say -previously- broken beings that we are, in the process of being repaired ♡
